@@realaussiemale567 Not for your first 5 mods, those are all down the list, but none of them have priority over tires and a snorkel. No point having breathers for a rig that can't wade anyway
Reduction Gearing is essential especially if you’ve fitted larger tyres! Allows you to have heaps more control especially on steep hills, you’ll also save burning out your clutch. It’s a mod that doesn’t get much attention but once you do it you’ll be amazed at just how much you needed it.
My list of 5 is bit different. 1. Tires 2.suspension 3.winchbumper 4. Snorkel 5. Maxtrax But I live in Thailand so a bit different. I would never place an awning for a.tarp does the job just as wel.and you don't have anything hanging on the side. That can get stuck
Love a good early morning upload! Especially when it's good advice! Just picked myself up a ranger and looking to do some mods so this was great advice!
Love ya work mate have a mn my self and love it just sold canopy and ordering an ozroo tub rack and going in for a 2in lift and new rims and tires, the more I watch your videos the more ideas i get keep them coming 🍻
I've stuck to the basics, what I need every time I go out on tracks. Tyres A/Ts Diff breathers Awening CB radio Snorkel Next on the list would be- Second battery Fridge Bullbar Suspension
1. safety- first aid kit & fire extinguisher 2/3. tires or suspension next (tires are vital but may need to lift first to fit taller tires) 4. recovery gear (straps, trax) 5. tools (basic wrenches, air pump) bonus - (skid plates, roof rack, lighting, coms, lockers, bumpers, sliders)
I'm still looking for a decent l200, but your video helped a lot for new guy like me, at least I got the basic idea on how to built mine after watching all of your video, thanks for the good content!
@@4x4CampingandAdventures Keep it up man 👍🏻 oh, btw do you have max tire size and brand recommendations for L200 with stock suspension or without any lift kit?
Agree with all except the snorkel mate. In my experience people rarely use them for what they're actually designed to do. The average Joe will probably benefit more from a good chip/tune/remap and some engine longevity works (can, exhaust, bigger/better IC, etc). And the most important thing of all...... Have a few cans and talk to people who have done the mods and spent the money! Plan your truck upgrades. What are you going to get the most out of the way YOU use it. Second to none 🤙🌅
@@thebob3712 initially in the day they were designed predominantly for water crossings. Now days more so for looks with the "send it staino" than anything! There's no point in putting on a bigger snorkel for performance without doing the air box, piping and IC where the main restrictions are
@@andrewcox710 snorkels arent for performance they just raise the point of where clean air gets sucked in, as in water crossings or less dusty air, as for looks each to their own
My first mod was tires then I did the bull bar, whinch, awning, roof rack and driving lights all at once and my last would be probably a 2 inch suspension lift kit
Hey man I really like your vids especially as I have the same car so you keep inspiring me with new ideas. Not sure if you have covered this earlier but where did you get the front end recovery hitches? Been looking on line but can't seem to find a set for Triton's.
There isn’t to much out there to be honest unfortunately one of the downsides of owning a triton you can go off the tow hitch which is the full welded one on the left hand side
Tires, suspension, recovery gear, skid plate, lighting. Tires and suspension are obvious. Recovery gear is essential for the just in case scenario. Don't forget tire repair kits are a part of recovery! Skid plate or plates are obvious as well. Lighting. It is good to have lighting in case you spend more time out than originally planned or something happens that delays you like changes on the trail or something. I'm going to add a 6th thing and it's very important. Bring food and water. Accidents happen and it can be hours before help arrives. If you go out and a sudden storm hits, it could be days before help arrives.
Awesome video mate, makes it easy to visual what your rig can look like with just those 5 mods. Do you reckon you could link up all the mods you have? I'm in need of a bashplate and snorkel ASAP and have the same rig as yours!
I'm not really gonna go hard 4wding so i was just thinking. All-terrain tyres Steel bullbar Spot lights Black steel rims(for looks) And give it a 2 inch raise will be the last thing i do? And the car is a 2016 toyota fj cruiser
Great advice, good video, never seen this channel before, first video i've seen. Subbed. One thing i can recommend is the Audio, get a shirt mic or something, was a little bad in this one.
Another good video mate, I would say depends on your budget, and what kind of 4wding you will be doing, but I’d go with New tyres Snorkel Recovery points Catch can/ fuel filter( to many people neglect the cars inside and go right for the superficial stuff) Then go from there, I drive ,diff breathers, bull bar winch, lift kit ect But just comes down to what suits your needs best, no use having all the fancy stuff if your only gonna use it once.
Imo you should add transmission cooler for any automatic transmission vehicle. Isn't flashy but for under 200 buck it's great prevention from having to spend 3 grand on a new transmission after you cook it.
What size rims did you start out with and tyres. I live in Trinidad and Tobago up in the country side so some of the beaches i surf have rough dirt roads especially during rainy season can get muddy and a slippery clay with ruts. I drive a 2013 triton 16" rims 2" lift. Automatic Thanks
My top 5 would be: 1. Tyres (3'' at least) 2. Suspension (2'' lift) 3. Snorkel 4. Bash Plates 5. Bar work (front and back so you can fit an extra wheel or an extra gas storage) Bonus. Electric equipment (extra battery, inverters, etc)
Slightly different route, what is used the most / potential cause the most damage.. a car is build around a motor, so how do I protect that first.. 1. Provent 200 & Prefuel filter water separator. Better then insurance. 2. Snorkel, for cleaner cooler air everyday not just on track. 3. Protect the radiator and gst yourself out of trouble with bash plates, bumper bar and winch. 4. Bigger Tyres for better grip so your less likely to get stuck, and the only thing that really lifts your diff for clearance on track. 5. Then Suspension. This way it can be tuned to the true weight if the car once everything has been fitted and improves what protection you already have etc. Top 5 Accessories. 1. Emergencies - First Aid, fire extinguisher, recovery gear. 2. Comms - Uhf / CB and relay/booster. 3. Roof racks - increase capacity. 4. Lighting. 5. Seat Covers & Floor linings. I love the mud, just not all over my backside while I'm driving haha.
What do you use for water spot protection??? just brought a new 2021 hilux mako and i fucked it up using a hose to rinse the car off after going to the beach but i didn't dry it now the whole car canopy and windows are full of water spots that i can't get off any tips or things i need to do for protection other then mods? or do you just let it spot up?
Top 5 must haves for beginner 4x4ers Tyres Rated recovery points recovery gear Portable chairs Drinks and or food Then fuck it go out (not alone) have a good time and if you get stuck sit down have a cold drink and wait for a mate to come pull you out after your first few times out you'll learn fast what mods you should do and in what order.
If you have a snorkel and a factory air box I wouldn’t recommend doing water crossings as factory air boxes aren’t fully sealed water can still get into them.
Thanks for this! Being a newbie, could you please tell if there are other things you would recommend, e.g. the "tracking plates" (or whatever there are called) sitting on the side of your vehicle? Are those needed?
I disagree with a bash plate not being required on beach driving. My bash plate has saved my ass more than a few times while doing beach driving. If you hit soft sand and bottom out you can totally shred your transmission and steering at even relatively low speeds.
Hey mate, I'm looking to upgrade to a 2inch lift. What are some good kit suggestions? Also what are those metal rails/steps you have mounted around the towbar? They look wicked and would be super practical for my rig!
@@4x4CampingandAdventures Cheers man. I wasn't expecting such a fast response! I plan on doing the 2 inch kit then an upgraded exhaust and get a tune, in no particular order when I find the coin for it all. 🤣
looking to upgrade from 265/70/16 to 285/75/16 like yours (with 2" lift kit of course).. wonder how bad the fuel economy would be? im driving the car daily
Hey, Im looking for my First L plater 4x4, ive been driving 4x4's since i was able to reach the clutch and was looking around and I have been informed for a Holden Rodeo Or a Mazda Bravo 2600 for my 1st car but I was wondering if anyone has some good ideas for me to modify my car and what type of car i should get 1st? Cheers, Rodger
They'd be much of the muchness really mate but depending on the year model, I'd be more inclined to go the B2600. Given that it's in good condition anyway! Consider an oil catch can for your engine and maybe some good camp lighting, otherwise I think this vid covered a great range! ✌
Not for a beginner in my opinion most people getting into 4wding don’t go down the tracks that justify one spend the money on a good set of tyres or lift instead.
Hey mate are they the Mars Headlights? how are they to install and how well do they perform? looking at getting some but haven't been able to ask anyone about them
Not sure I’d agree with these mods as the first 5, other than tyres. Most stock utes can get further than most people can manage! I’d go tyres, diff breathers, rated recovery points, pre fuel filter (not catch can cause they’re a complete waste of time) and tyre puncture kit! A snorkel doesn’t do anything unless it’s with a fully sealed airbox - the argument of ‘cooler air’ is a myth - you can check that yourself with a thermometer - virtually no difference! The only reason for a snorkel is deep water crossings, hence the sealed comment 🤙
1. Tires (the best AT's you can afford that are the biggest legal fit) 2. Engine (catch can, tune, upgraded IC, exhaust) 3. Good quality dual battery set-up 4. Cargo storage (either racks or canopy or drawers, spare fuel and water) 5. AV (stereo, UHF, navigation, etc) 6. Once you have a good idea of the loads you take, do the suspension
That’s 7 🤙😂 nah great advice mate lockers is definitely up there but I figured most most people they don’t need it for beach driving/basic 4wding. Thanks for watching legend
probably a stupid question, but was there any special engineering you had to do to it. Like if were to do all that what would I need to make sure I got.
If you're going to mainly do beach work don't waste your money on big noby mud tyres. A Standard road tyre that is a bit wider won't dig you down as fast as big mud tyres .
For a good laugh read the captions...Has anybody really matched what he is saying to the words he is supposed to be saying..Great video excellent information captioning makes a mockery of the importance of the message..
